all depends on what you are playing and what sound you're looking for.

i mean, my friend bought a soldano t-100 (the yamaha version), for like 600... although that's considerably more metal and high gain delish than most people are looking for, normally the yamaha's sell for 1200...

or go classic, like a sovtek... sovtek's are amazing pieces of work, if you don't mind not switching channels... the clean is just a fantastic piece of work... and the distortion has enough grit and tone to make me a little squirmy sometimes.

Yea, I mean there are definitely some good amps out there I can get for a decent price but being a college student leaves me with little to spend on anything.

Craigslist is a great place to get amp scores. I'm picking up a brand new Line 6 LD175 bass amp for $100 dollars this week thanks to craigslist.

I like 'em all, but this one is just fantastic live. So epic.

Another epic and one of my favorite songs ever.

Oh, another good one

I can't imagine the people of 100,000+ screaming your guitar riff back at you as you play it. Gives me chills.

Just throwing it out there from somewhere on the last page, Serj is the man.

lol that's one of the few Muse songs I don't like. But I can listen to any live version of any Muse song.

How can you not like Stockholm Syndrome?

All Muse songs sound like their sung by dying cats to me. Their Bassist is the man tho.

the fuzz on the song is very. very. very tremendous.

iron maiden also gets too little love among most circles. i think it's terrifying on how fantastic instrumentally they are... murray and smith and the dualing guitars is a classic example of how to do more with less... you don't have to be power shredders and guitar virtuoso's to make metal complex. you have to just kick ass and take names.

mouth of the architect is ridiculous.

pelican's first two albums were good. the last one was... only alright... i don't think they understand that you can have drony songs without having drony drums...

Yeah. Being a drummer myself, Pelican's drummer bothers me. Completely different style of playing from the drummer in Rosetta. You can see how it works so much better.

I ******* heart Intronaut. They are amazing live. They opened up for Isis at a show in Baton Rouge and were incredible. They are also opening up for Mastodon in April in New Orleans.

And now from one of my favorite metal bands of all time and local legends on the metal scene: Acid Bath.

phlysac · 03-23-2009, 12:46 AM

God, I love Howard Jones so much better in BHBS. What an amazing band. What can be said of Acid Bath....

Quite possibly the best Metal ballad of all-time...

fenikz · 03-23-2009, 04:42 AM

listening to new Mastodon, not as good as Leviathan or even Blood Mountain but its still really good

diabsoule · 03-23-2009, 07:22 AM

Isis just posted a new song on their myspace. It's amazing because that's what Isis is.

"20 Minutes/40 Years"

Mastodon - Crack the Skye definitely isn't as good as Blood Mountain or Leviathan. In fact, I'm a little disappointed considering how good those last two albums were.

Sarf was talking about Buckethead so I decided to put on my favorite song of his. I remember talking about him not too long ago on here, so Ill go ahead and post up my fav Bucket song.
